4. How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk
2016 by Douglas W. Hubbard, Richard Seiersen
"How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk" unveils the deficiencies in current practices of "risk management" and introduces a set of enhancement techniques to address these gaps and elevate security measures. Building on the insights from his bestselling book, "How to Measure Anything," author Douglas W. Hubbard, who previously emphasized the critical need for improved measurement in the business world, extends the premise to the cybersecurity domain. Drawing from "The Failure of Risk Management," this book sounds a crucial warning about certain risk management approaches within cybersecurity that inadvertently amplify risks rather than mitigating them. It highlights the replication of questionable methods across industries, ingrained in products accepted without scrutiny. Offering illumination on these evident risks, the book presents alternative techniques to enhance the current security landscape. Readers will gain insights into which approaches are too perilous to salvage, constituting more harm than the absence of any security measures."
